Description
A festive Chex mix coated in white chocolate and peanut butter, perfect for Valentine’s Day parties or gifts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups Rice or Corn Chex cereal
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup Valentine’s M&Ms
- 1 cup mini pretzel knots
- 2 tbsp heart-shaped sprinkles
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
Instructions
- Place the Chex cereal into a very large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently fold with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until fully coated.
- Spread the muddy buddies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. While still tacky, sprinkle with Valentine’s M&Ms, pretzels, sprinkles, and freeze-dried strawberries. Let set for 20 minutes.
- Break apart any clumps, mix gently, and transfer to an airtight container or gift bags.
Notes
Use a very large bowl to avoid spills when coating. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
